Still peering down Julien said “I’ll come with, climbing is my hobby, and fall injuries are fun to heal.” he said dryly.

As they started out down and around the spiral staircase encircling the outer rim of the borehole they started to pick up a glow far, far down in the distance. Wherever this thing led, it was getting closer and closer to the molten core of the planet.

The stairs seemed to go on forever, but at last they were seeing a light. Orvos stopped, deciding that perhaps his drone would get a better visual quickly. He pulled out a circular device and attached it his temple. Whatever the drone’s readings, he would see them in his mind’s eye so to speak. He aimed his hand downward and released the drone. It shot out of his wrist device and expanded itself to its full capacity, three feet long and about a feet wide.

“Let’s see if we can get a better look before we get all the way down there,” declared Orvos as he mentally sent the drone lower and lower down the shaft.

The drones readout picked up an increasing temperature and a large open space in the form of a hemispheric dome at the bottom.

Orvos looked to Stark, Julien, and Konral. “I’m detecting increasing temperature along with an open hemispheric dome. Something, or perhaps someone is down there?”

He looked downwards as they continued their descent. “You know I may have a way down there, but it will mean you lot getting there before me,” he stated, curios if anyone’s curiosity was piqued.

Orvos brought the drone back up to his level and allowed it to hover near them. “This baby of mine has the ability to transport one individual at a time. Essentially, it will beam you out, saving your bio-signature. Once its reached its destination, you’re beamed back into existence. Much quicker, however it will leave me with having to operate the drone and continue the descent on my own. Thoughts?” He knew full well this sort of tech was not something Starfleet had really used before, but he was a man full of secrets. This was the least of them.

OOC: I had always envisioned this sort of feature for Orvos’s drone. Not sure if I had mentioned it ever IC or to you Ian in our emails. If you were hoping for us to take the stairs, that’s fine too. Feel free to let me know! :)

-Tony

OOC No problem.

Stark grimaced a little, “That leaves you awfully exposed to anything you might encounter on the way down, but if you think it’s worth the risk then I’m game”.

Orvos nodded. “It may well be worth it. Anyone care to be the first down? If not, I can always just hand over the controls to one of you and I could down first? Whoever has the controls though, will have to continue down the stairs. Thoughts?” he asked, inviting everyone on the away team their input.

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE

“Your device, your controller, I’d prefer that you operate it. I’m game to be first down but I’ll give that honor up if anyone else has a better idea?”

Stark Nightstalker CIO

Julien just nodded. “I’ll go second.” he said.

In the distance, two women in dark jumpsuits were approaching at a swift jog. The security cordon made to stop them but they flashed some form of identification and were waved through. One was the half Klingon woman they had seen earlier, the other was Kallen Reese.
